What I did today 2026

[MelanieSW]

General weeding. Finally dug out the burdock that was really starting to take up too much space. I think I actually managed to get it all. Let's see if it comes back next year.
Also planted out a few more leeks and the final butternut squash.

Finally got round to planting my greenhouse toms and cucumbers.

Busy day but I still managed an hour of weeding the driveway.
Feeling very chuffed because OH burned off the weeds a few times earlier on in the year but also included the wild strawberrieswhich only seem to want to grow in the gravel if the driveway- just where we drive in
Anyway….they are doing better than ever after that burning!..yippee….(I thought they were clumps of small dandelions from a distance so it was a lovely suprise.

( can’t say the same though for the grape hyacinth which were utterly frazzled at the same time ) pah

I put up the second teepee today (I’ll plant more beans tomorrow or soon) planted twelve sweetcorn,there’s a few more in the blowaway I’ll try & plant tomorrow (no space there yet). Also planted two black icicle tomatoes in pots with marigolds. I cooked nine of the garlic scapes chopped up with onion,mushrooms,noodles,flax seeds,soy sauce & tuna steak with cayenne pepper & black pepper,really tasty garlic but like a veg

Finally got round to thinning the apples, kept putting it off hoping some would drop on their own. They didn't. Also tied in a load of raspberry canes that had been flopping around since the wind last week.
